Throughout the history of pump design, there has always been a significant effort dedicated to improving pump efficiency, increasing duty cycle, and broadening operating range. Engineers have been faced with the task of creating multiple castings for housings, impellers, and other machine components only to find that they could be made better after-the-fact. More prototypes were made until the budget of the project required a final prototype to go into production. From the beginning, CFdesign was developed to exist as a tool on the desktop of engineers tasked with the creation of new pump designs.

When the invisible fluid interaction inside a complex turbo-machine becomes visible to the engineer immediately on the CAD model concept, a tremendous leap of insight saves the design process from hidden errors inside the machine.
